Re: Output a new line after the XML declaration using indent="yes"

The Xalan 
serializer doesn't know about whether the serialized XML will 
be used in the the future as an external general parsed 
entity and included in yet another XML file.

There is no Xalan specific option to control this behavior.

I see.  Still I think it would be nice if the user could explicitly 
control this behavior.  As a workaround I've made it output the XML 
declaration and a new line manually:

        SAXTransformerFactory stf = (SAXTransformerFactory)
                TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        TransformerHandler handler = stf.newTransformerHandler();
        Transformer transformer = handler.getTransformer();
        ...
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys
                .OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
        ...
        OutputStream out = ...;
        handler.setResult(new StreamResult(out));

        String xmlDecl =
                "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
                + System.getProperty("line.separator");
        out.write(xmlDecl.getBytes("US-ASCII"));

        handler.startDocument();
        ...
